I give up: how do you continue a line in Rev?

How about this:
We take the entire Rev docs and put them in a Wiki (hopefully this
process can be automated)
Then, when we find a problem or something that needs to be added to the
docs, whichever one of us has the answer to the problem goes to the wiki
and modifies the document, or creates a new page, or whatever is needed.
We could probably add quite a few how-to pages, and probably expand a
number of reference items with further examples as needed.
It would not be viewed as big 'ol humungous project. Instead, it would
just be natural ongoing process in response to discussions on this list.
Just like when you guys say 'did you BZ it' in response to newly
discovered bugs, we would also say 'did you Wiki it' in response to
newly discovered solutions or needed explanations.
Would this be practical?
Is there any way to automatically put the docs into a Wiki?

Is the continuation character documented someplace?
The current documentation is a great reference. The videos are good for
instruction, but I think there needs to be some more IDE documentation,
like this is the code editor, you can switch the handler views using
this
menu, the continuation character is \, etc.
